Friday is almost upon us, and if you are looking for something to do, I’ve got an idea for you. Why not make your way out to Geek-A Palooza this Friday night from 6 pm to 11 pm.

You read that right: Geek-A-Palooza. Kaleidoscope Art Space puts on a monthly event, and this time around it’s one that I know I am going to enjoy.

So, just what is Geek-A-Palooza? I was able to sit down with Nikki Gonzalez of Kaleidoscope, and she told me all about it. “We have a Cosplay contest, we have a gaming contest,” said Nikki. “It’s also going to be the one-year anniversary of the sushi truck we work with, Sushi on Wheels.”

Geek-A-Palooza is a little bit of everything. If you are into comics, they have you covered. If you are into anime, they’ve got that covered as well.

You’ll even have a chance to meet Joe Lujan; an El Paso raised comic book artist, writer and movie director. In fact, his movie Immortal Wars hits store shelves July 3 rd .

“It’s a really amazing event,” says Nikki of Geek-A-Palooza. “We try to make it easy for everyone to enjoy the arts in our community.”

Geek-A-Palooza, like all their events, are free, and family friendly.

Why not take some time this Friday to stop by? Geek-A-Palooza will be at the MKL (Mobile Kitchen Lot) at 9715 Montana Avenue from 6 pm to 11 pm. You can get more information on their Facebook Events page
